Chapter 150 It Depends on the Situation
"You'll be satisfied with these photos. Get ready to pay for them." Zhou Qiao waved her camera.
Qin You stood to the side, glanced at the camera, and suddenly said with dissatisfaction, "You've never taken a picture of me."
Without thinking, Zhou Qiao retorted, "What do you mean I haven't taken pictures of you? I've filled up a 512GB memory card with pictures!"
The words had barely left her mouth when Zhou Qiao regretted them. "Damn it, why did I just blurt that out?! Isn't this what I really think?"
Qin You stared intently at her, unable to believe it. "Really?"
"It's fake, I'm just kidding." Zhou Qiao chuckled.
"I don't believe it." Qin You turned his face away, suppressing the smile on his lips. "I'll go back and check."
"If you dare to rummage through my things, get out of here!" Zhou Qiao snapped.
"Sister Zhou! Sister Xu! I'm late!" Lu Xiaomeng jumped out of the car.
"Xiao Meng has finally arrived. It's not too late; we can still have hot food." Gu Xing laughed heartily.
The young owner, who was in charge of entertaining them, walked over with a cheerful smile and said, "Would you like to take a picture together to remember this moment? The sunset is quite beautiful today."
Gu Xing clapped his hands, "Great suggestion, little boss! Then you can help us clap, come on, come over here!"
The group stood in the courtyard, with the center position obviously reserved for today's protagonist, Xiang Yun. Xu Songning was pushed to Xiang Yun's side, and the two exchanged a glance without saying a word.
Lu Xiaomeng stood next to her sister Xu and playfully made a peace sign.
Zhou Qiao put her arm around Lu Xiaomeng's shoulder, Qin You stood expressionless beside Zhou Qiao, and Gu Xing consciously stood next to Xiang Yun, leading the two dogs, Da Huang and Er Huang, from the shop over.
Gu Xing stroked Da Huang's head, grinning like a silly dog.
"The two people in the middle, stand a little closer, the camera can't fit them all," the young boss said with a simple smile.
The camera angle could certainly be adjusted, but why would anyone else do something so unpleasant? Of course, they would squeeze in the middle, bringing Xu Songning and Xiang Yun together.
Shoulder to shoulder, foot to foot.
Xiang Yun sniffed, easily catching the scent of Xu Songning. He was focused on the camera when something gently brushed against his fingertips.
Xu Songning withdrew his hand, smiled at him, and whispered, "Brother Yun, smile."
"Gentlemen, I'll say one, two, three, and you say 'cheese'!" The young boss held the camera steadily, shouting the slogan.
"one two three!"
"eggplant!"
Qin You maintained his usual cool expression, Xiang Yun wore a faint smile, and Xu Songning smiled happily, revealing her neat, white teeth.
"Thank you for your hard work, little boss." Gu Xing took the camera and handed it back to Zhou Qiao.
Zhou Qiao put the camera in the car. "I'll send you the photos when I get home. If you don't have any friends, please scan the QR code."
"Let's create a group chat for friends," Qin You said.
Zhou Qiao glared at him, but he remained unmoved. He started creating a group chat face to face, gave a number, and several people joined the chat. Gu Xing changed the chat name to "Friends and Family Group".
"Family and friends group, Captain Gu really knows how to name things, it makes a lot of sense." Zhou Qiao smiled happily.
Qin You let out another soft hum, and then randomly selected another captain, Captain Gu.
"Let's go in and order first. There are a few more people coming together. I'll wait a bit," Xiang Yun said.
"Okay! I just messaged to ask, she'll be here in a few minutes. Everyone, please go in first, don't stand outside. Sister Xu is like a celebrity today, it's too eye-catching." Gu Xing led the way.
Xu Songning was wearing high heels, and her feet were not very comfortable from standing for a long time, so the group followed Gu Xing into the private room.
One by one, Xiang Yun's friends arrived. After exchanging pleasantries, they entered the private room. When they saw Xu Songning, their eyes lit up.
"Aren't you going to introduce these people?" my friend laughed. "We only know Captain Gu."
Xiang Yun introduced the two groups of people at the dinner table, and they nodded to each other as a greeting.
When seating was being arranged, Xu Songning placed her bag on the seat next to her. She winked at Xiang Yun and gently patted the seat next to her, indicating that it was reserved for him.
When Xiang Yun arranged for another person to sit in the main seat, that person waved his hands repeatedly, "Today is your birthday, how can I sit in the main seat? How about I sit next to that lady?"
Xiang Yun was naturally unhappy. He frowned and was about to refuse when Xu Songning spoke first. She patted her bag and said, "I'm sorry, this place is probably not suitable. I reserved a seat for Brother Yun."
Everyone smiled knowingly. "Oh! So someone was sitting there."
"It's alright, sit anywhere. We're all old classmates, no need for formalities." Xiang Yun sat down next to Xu Songning, hanging her bag on his chair with a very natural gesture.
"I've never been here before. I didn't expect there to be such a great place." The speaker was Xiang Yun's old classmate and roommate, who happened to be in Shanghai and happened to be here for this meal.
Gu Xing exclaimed, "I recommended this place to Xiang Yun. It's a great place! All the ingredients are all natural. The owner grows his own vegetables and raises his own chickens, ducks, geese, sheep, and cattle."
"So what are we having for dinner today? I can't find the menu," my roommate continued to ask.
"Today's menu is a secret menu. We'll make whatever ingredients the owner has prepared, so every dish is something to look forward to. It's a set menu that Xiang Yun specially chose," Gu Xing said with a smile.
My roommate nodded in agreement, "That's great! We're just waiting for the food to be served. By the way, are you two both at the Shanghai base now? Why isn't Xiang Yun flying international routes anymore? He probably can't earn that much domestically, right?"
Xiang Yun took a sip of tea. "Well, my family is mainly based in Shanghai, so I don't plan to fly that far anymore. The treatment is about the same."
"You're only right about that; you're way off us." His roommate was filled with envy and jealousy. He knew that Xiang Yun's family owned a firm, which was now incredibly valuable. But he didn't know that Xiang Yun didn't interfere with the firm or take any money from it; he earned all his money himself.
"How is that a big difference? Xiang Yunfei is a model worker domestically, and he used to work even harder on international flights. I think for the sake of his health, domestic flights are more suitable for him," Gu Xing interjected.
My roommate sighed, realizing he was getting bored, and changed the subject.
The group chatted about their work and lives, and then about university. Xiang Yun had nothing to complain about, and everyone laughed at him for spending so much time in the library, wasting his chance to be the class heartthrob.
The dishes were served one by one, and they looked like home-style dishes, but they tasted so delicious they were amazing.
Qin You stayed by her side, too lazy to chat, and was responsible for serving food to Zhou Qiao, behaving so obediently that it was astonishing.
Lu Xiaomeng had Sister Zhou on her left and Sister Xu on her right. She wasn't sad at all being all alone; the food on the table was just what she wanted.
Xu Songning is low-key, but it's inevitable that some people will have designs on her. When Xiang Yun introduced her earlier, he only mentioned that she was an air traffic controller and didn't say that they were in a romantic relationship. So, someone took advantage of the alcohol to boldly ask, "Ms. Xu, do you have a boyfriend?"
The atmosphere at the table froze. Everyone admired this person for their lack of tact; how could they ask such a question?
Xu Songning took a bite of the shrimp ball, thought for a moment, and said, "Hmm, we'll see."
